                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O God of perfect goodness, give us today a vision of You that we 
might be renewed by Your forgiving love and challenged by Your 
righteousness.
  Inspire the Members of this body with Your presence. Give them such 
confidence in Your providential leading that they will find rest from 
their burdens. Let peace reign in their hearts, thoughts, and 
conversations, as You order their steps and direct their paths.
  Sovereign God, You know better than we what is best for us and our 
world; so use us today for Your glory. We pray in the Redeemer's Name. 
Amen.
